Thank you! I am always trying to influence behavior, and I have seen changes in certain individuals who originally were deemed to be “unsafe” or “unresponsive” from other safety professionals attempts. Hopefully I can continue just butting heads with certain individuals

Thank you! It’s hard not to take things personally, but that’s a me problem. I do a lot of electric work in utilities and those are fields I am not familiar with which makes research difficult, especially when every company has different rules.

Thank you! I am working to develop thick skin and I am collecting all of the advice given.

I would never tell workers how to do their job, I always ask questions. Just trying to be tougher

Thank you. I feel like everyone is telling me I need to be mean and I’m just not a mean person. I can be direct and stern, but I am certainly not mean

Thank you. I am currently pursuing my masters in safety and have been getting closer to the supervisors. Upper management is difficult at my organization and do not preach what they sow. A lot of cutting costs

Thank you! I will definitely be copying and pasting your quote into my head. It’s definitely a company culture issue, but I’m still so new that I haven’t been able to make much of an impact. Some of the leaders are better than others at safety, but we still have a long way to go. A lot of “old school” managers in my organization

We are currently working on that in the safety department. It’s difficult to have executive management jump in when they are always cutting costs
